Development
of skeleton and joints:
PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat ® is a special variation
of PrimeVal
Gelatinaat®. It especially supports a sound development of
the puppy's skeleton.

The
skeleton of the pup develops strongly during the pregnancy and first year of its
life. Especially with the bigger, faster growing breeds there is the possibility
of skeletal deviations and disorders in the development from cartilage to bone.
For the smaller breeds too it is important that they have adequate nutrition for
their musculoskeletal system.

PrimeVal
Puppy Gelatinaat® contains these important natural building blocks for the
skeleton and cartilage.

Without
Calcium:
Puppies require different nutrition requirements than adult dogs.
For that reason that PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat has a different composition without
calcium, magnesium and iron.

PrimeVal
Puppy Gelatinaat®

Introduction
Lots
of pups, especially the large, fast growing breeds, run the risk of developing
skeletal abnormalities (hip - and elbow dysplasia) and deviations in the transformation
from cartilage to bone (osteochondrosis). The consequences for the pup from these
ensuing complaints into adult hood can lead to a lot of misery for the animal
as well as his owner.

Some
of the causes: (hereditary) development disorders of the skeleton: Developmental
Joint disease (OJD), a non balanced diet or one that is too rich in energy (protein)
during the various growing phases, or an imbalance of certain essential amino
acids which are a prerequisite for the building of cartilage, strong bones, connective
tissues and ligaments. At a later stage, when the dog is an adult as a result
of uneven weight baring of the joint surface there is a higher change of developing
premature wear and tear (arthrosis) of the cartilage in the joints.

Hip
dysplasia and elbow dysplasia.
A pup is not born with hip- or elbow dysplasia.
These conditions develop during the growth period and can continue as the dog
grows older. Both abnormalities are partly hereditary developmental disorders
which can lead to painfulness, lameness and premature 'wear and tear' (arthrosis)
of the cartilage in the joints. Via an X-ray these conditions can be clearly diagnosed.
The dog is less active due to the pain and because of that the lacks the muscle
development around the joints. Not just the hereditary factors play a part with
hip- and elbow dysplasia development, but also deficient nourishment plays an
essential role. Some breeds run higher risks in obtaining one or both disorders.

Osteochondrosis
Defects
in the skeletal development such as Osteochondrosis, or OC in short, are seen
in a lot of dog breeds and emerge already at a young age.

With
every young animal during the process of developing the cartilage to the eventual
bone, towards the end of this process a thin layer of cartilage film is left.
Normally this process is finished in the first year, but for the larger breeds
this period takes longer.

Various
factors play a role in the development of osteochondrosis. Besides hereditary,
intensive breeding, injuries and false movement (slippery surface) this includes
particularly feeding. Good nutrition already begins with the pregnant bitch. The
change to develop osteochondrosis is the highest during the last 3 weeks of gestation.
It is therefore important during the entire pregnancy to supplement the bitch
with PrimeVal Gelatinaat (ask your supplier).

PrimeVal
Puppy Gelatinaat®
PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat® is derived from the successful
product PrimeVal Gelatinaat® for adult dogs. It is especially formulated and
contains no calcium.
A too high an intake of calcium is an important risk factor
in the development of osteochondrosis, hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. Because
growing young dogs are unable to sufficiently regulate the calcium intake in their
intestines, they can get a built up of undesirable surplus in their body.

PrimeVal
Puppy Gelatinaat® contains 100% pure collagen hydrolysate, which contains
a special amino acid range. Amino acids combine together in chains of which thousands
of combinations are possible. Those special amino acid chains of PrimeVal Puppy
Gelatinaat corresponds with the cartilage in the joints of the pup and are the
main ingredient of the joint tissues, ligaments and tendons, the skin and coat
of the pup. The specific composition of PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat lessens to a
great degree the change of skeletal- and joint abnormalities.

Amino
acids, the building blocks of protein, form a peptide chain, which quickly gets
absorbed in the guts and taken up into the bloodstream. Amino acids are involved
by all the bodily processes, also by the development of a healthy and strong skeletal
system. Some amino acids are essential, meaning: the intake is completely dependant
on what the pup is fed.

Working
Simply
put the PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat® makes sure that during the growth period
adequate essential building material is present for a sound bone- and cartilage
development, but also for the composition of strong connective tissues, ligaments
and tendons. At the same time PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat contributes to the production
of sufficient synovial fluid for continued lubrication of the joints.

Administration
PrimeVal
Puppy Gelatinaat® is recommended:
· as building material for the
skeleton, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, skin and coat;
· is involved in lessening the chance of developing hip - and elbow dysplasia;
· has a role in reducing the incidence of osteochondrosis (OC);
· assists
in a healthy development of the musculoskeletal system of the growing pup;
· aids to develop a shiny and supple coat.
PrimeVal Puppy Gelatinaat contains
per 100 gram:
Pharmaceutically pure collagen hydrolysate 99,96 gram
Collagen
type II 0,01 gram
Natural flavour: vanillin 0,03 gram

Usage:
1
scoop of 7,5 grams per day per pup to avoid hip- and elbow dysplasia, osteochondrosis
(OC) and for a sound development of the skeleton. Begin this dosage the moment
the puppy begins to eat solid food (at about 8 weeks of age). Simply add PrimeVal
Puppy Gelatinaat to the porridge, chunks or dinner. (add some water to moisten)
WARNING: never feed dry in the mouth
